D.Hayden Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 High at my house was -1F today. Low was -15F. About 6 inches of snow so far, whiteout snowing right now. But my driveway is clear and dry oh how I love my snowmelt! Kids were home today, school tomorrow. We have the same temperatures, but it's been blue skies, clear and sunny, no winds.. very nice winter days.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Sure Luke, we got power. I know half of Kettering lost power last night around 730pm, due to that transformer blowing up, but I was one of the lucky ones. What about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritinUSA Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 -7F last night and this morning in Erie, CO Just a trickle of water from the cold water tap this morning... Whipped the hair dryer over the pipes in the garage and the flow returned to normal... I think I just dodged a bullet (which makes a change from Sunday when a ricochet hit me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Well, we've been skirted by several of the storms and have gotten less than nearby areas, knock on wood. But it's still been --ing ugly at times. The snow last week was about 8" of dense wet gunk followed by night time temps around 10°. For whatever reason, the city didn't get the plows out in time except for the main streets and all the side streets quickly turned to ice. The past couple days, it's gotten a bit warmer and we've had a drizzle off and on which turns to ice at night. Walking to the office in the morning is an exercise in remaining upright with both feet pointing in the same general direction. I don't know which is worse, living somewhere that's prepared to cope with snow and getting dumped on or just getting enough to be annoying but that lingers because nothing is done about it. I'm just thankful I have a Subaru Forster with some ground clearance and all wheel drive. Now what I need are some crampons for my shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_M Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I just had to google "Snow." So you're telling me that ice just falls from the sky? It's pretty chilly here in Starkville, but that's the extent of it. If I get out of class before dark I may go to the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSteel Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 We're supposed to see an 1" per hour till Thursday morning... It's Vermont, we'll just use snowblowers instead of laying down fault lines for Feb's match.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Got 8-10" here from late yesterday to now. I LOVE having a plow on my truck. I get all 100yds of my driveway done in all of 5min. I do have to use the snow thrower to get the 35yds of circle off the main driveway, but we can get by without doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could've used your help out here this morning when we shovelled approx 200 ft of our driveway. We're going to buy something to make it easy to clean for next time!

alpha-charlie Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Drifting snow piled up about 3 feet deep in my 50 yard driveway. The snow in the backyard was up to the doorknob of the garage door. As for the street..........well, I'm sure it's out there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Mainus Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 From 10pm last nite to 7am this morning, we got 2' of snow, had wind gust of 50 MPH to boot. The drifts were 6' deep in places. Took me 12 hours to get my driveway, my Moms, Motherinlaws, and Aunts drives all clear today. We had snowmobiles stuck in the ditches around here because the snow was so deep. There are still roads by my house that have not been plowed yet by the town. Why do I live here..... Go Packers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foilhat Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 We had 18 inches of snow and large drifts. I80 was shut down and we were parking trucks on every empty lot. I got stuck sitting on a highway telling people the road was closed. Most people want to argue, what do I know? I'm just the guy with the flashing lights on my car.
